Edwin Bruce Associates Architects

Specialties

Our strength is in our ability to work with people. We are passionate about translating your needs and goals into an exceptional design and a dynamic built environment that provides function, durability and delight.

The design process is best served by listening to you, understanding your priorities, and working with you in a collaborative effort. We are your professional eyes and ears, advocating on your behalf through the project’s life cycle.

We view design as a series of creative responses to your unique project needs, budget, site constraints, and spatial requirements. The result achieves practical, interesting and cost effective solutions in original spaces that truly fit your life/​work style.

The small size and flat organization of our firm helps us to function like a «well oiled machine.» The process of design, permitting and construction administration requires quick and nimble responses, which we make possible by involving all members of our team.
